Colin frowned when he heard O'Cassie's rude question.
He patiently explained in a deep voice:
"I did not escape, but followed the command and participated in the battle completely, but then..."
"Your companions at that time included Meyer of the Magic Ring, Sovok of the Silver Ring, and... Margaret of the Insta School.
Can you explain why all three of them died on the battlefield? But only you disappeared, and since then, you have returned to the Siya continent unscathed?"
Ocasie stared at Colin with an aggressive tone.
"Sir Ocasi, what do you mean?"
He was interrupted before he finished speaking. Colin felt a little unhappy and said coldly.
Ocasie adjusted her glasses, her face turned cold, and she said in a deep voice:
"You are only a first-level junior wizard, and you have just advanced. You were the weakest among the four of you at that time!"
"Yet you, the weakest, are the only one who survives?"
"How do you want me not to doubt you?" Ocasie continued with a hint of disdain on her lips:
"I know that you wizards were originally tasked to join the Alseus Society. You were temporarily recruited to participate in the war on Gupil Island. You must have been unwilling to do so...
In fact, this is indeed the case, there are still a few wizards like you who have not participated in the battle."
"I didn't..." Colin's lips moved slightly, but he was interrupted by O'Cassie.
"My time is precious, admit the fact, Leonard." O'Casey picked up the crystal on the table and said calmly,
"This is not a big deal, and the school will not impose too harsh punishments. At most, you will be required to do some harmless punishment tasks."
The more impatient he felt in his heart, the more his emotions on Colin's face became calmer and calmer, and he asked in a deep voice.
"I've never done it, why should I admit it?"
"..."
Seeing Colin's appearance, Ocasie put down the crystal and said calmly with some doubts:
"Then can you explain to me where you were during the time you were missing?"
At first, she didn't want to waste time listening to Colin's explanation.
After all, although there are not many wizards like Colin, in every war, as long as the war supervision is not strict enough, there will always be a group of them.
Colin is already the third wizard she has met during this period - all wizards who suddenly returned to the school intact after disappearing.
The first two have decisively confessed their faults, and they are both deserters with various reasons.
Therefore, she preconceived that the same was true for Colin.
However, looking at Colin's appearance, it seems that there is something hidden.
Colin's face was stern. He didn't want to explain too much, but he had to say it now.
After all, whether it was Margaret, Meyer, or even Sovok, Morin... they had all died on the battlefield.
It was really difficult to prove my innocence for a while.
He exhaled a breath and began to speak slowly:
"In the red soil forest of Gupil Island, I fell into a different space due to an accident..."
"Alternate space... There is also an alien space on Gupil Island?"
Ocasie frowned and began to doubt what Colin said.
But this time she finally did not interrupt Colin's story, but continued to listen patiently.
"After falling into a different space, I also appeared in a forest, but those woods had been polluted..."
Ocasi's frown deepened.
On the other side, Colin seemed to realize that what he said was a little delayed, Colin paused and explained briefly:
"Later, I discovered that the alien space was the legendary elven kingdom, and that forest was the territory of the tree elves in the elven kingdom."
After Colin finished speaking, he thought O'Cassie would be surprised, but he didn't expect O'Cassie's reaction to be even greater.
Her face suddenly darkened and she asked coldly:
"You mean, you mistakenly entered the legendary elven kingdom?"
Colin nodded calmly.
Ocasi looked at his appearance and felt more and more that he was making a fool of himself.
So he laughed angrily and said, "Why don't you say that you are still the heroic wizard who passed the key information about the rebellion of the elves to Congressman Noins during the battle on the seven islands in the south?"
Colin paused and was stunned.
He looked at Ocasi in front of him and nodded again.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.
Ocasie stared at Colin.
She even felt a little funny in her heart, Colin Leonard... was he serious?
How dare he say such nonsense?!
Feeling Ocasi's gaze, the original anger in Colin's heart gradually dissipated, leaving only helplessness.
He frowned and thought about how to prove the authenticity of his words.
But soon, he discovered that this was a dead end.
Just relying on his own words, without the support of others or substantive evidence, no matter how carefully he tells it, it is difficult to prove that what he said is true.
"Ocasi, are you in any trouble?"
However, at this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and an older wizard asked slowly.
The wizard who came in had gray hair and wore round glasses like Ocasi, but they were matte metallic silver.
If you look closely, you can see that the glasses worn on the wizard's face are actually firmly connected to his ears.
'A second-level wizard who has undergone mechanical transformation.'
Colin looked at the traces of mechanical modifications on the older wizard's exposed skin and speculated.
"It's nothing, Lord Jonah." Ocasie said respectfully to the visitor.
"Well, I remember that a wizard came to update the information today, right?"
Jonah's tone was gentle, just like an ordinary kind old man.
He looked at Colin and said kindly: "This should be the wizard who updated the information, right?
Well, is it because of some reason that it has advanced, or there are previous missing records that need to be updated..."
"Because of missing records, missing records on the battlefield."
Ocasi adjusted her glasses and explained calmly:
"Colin Leonard, a first-level junior wizard, disappeared during the battle on Gupil Island. No body was found, and no belongings were found.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then yesterday, I returned to the Xisheng School, and today, I came to the Black Castle to receive inquiries and update the information."
"That's it." Jonah nodded, vaguely guessing what was going on.
"First-level intermediate." However, Colin on the side suddenly said.
Ocasie and Jonah turned their heads and cast their gazes, looking a little confused.
"What I mean is that my wizard level is already the first-level intermediate level." Colin pointed out Ocasi's mistake calmly.
"This is impossible! You just advanced to the first-level wizard two months ago..."
Of course Ocasi didn't believe it at first, but as she spoke, her tone gradually weakened.
Wizard level...if you lie, you can expose it in a moment.
Although Colin in front of him was full of lies, he didn't look so stupid...
On the other side, Jonah looked calm at first, but after hearing what O'Casey said two months later, his expression suddenly turned serious.
On the lenses of his silver round glasses, streaks of white light flashed quickly.
The next second, he looked at Colin and asked slowly:
"Did you really just become a first-level wizard two months ago?"
"It's absolutely true." Colin's tone was calm and his face was calm.
He has no intention of revealing his identity as a genius... After all, whether others know it or not has nothing to do with his own strength.
But as long as it's not beyond common sense, he has no intention of hiding his genius identity.
After listening to Jonah on the side, his expression suddenly became more kind, and he said with a smile:
"Now that we have advanced, the badges must also be updated together... Ocasi." He turned to look at the shocked wizard beside him, "Let us congratulate the Tin Sage School for adding another talented wizard!"
Ocasie came back to her senses, her face was reluctant, and she said to Jonah angrily:
"Teacher Jonah, he disappeared during the war on Gupil Island, and now he suddenly appears intact.
Such a strange situation, it is obvious that he is either a deserter or has other problems!"
Jonah looked serious and corrected O'Casey:
"Ocasi, in the Black Castle, please call me Lord Jonah, or Lord Jonah."
"But what about the war on Gupil Island?
I remember that when the news of the death of the wizard named Margaret from the Yinsta School came out some time ago, the family behind her was extremely angry and caused quite a disturbance."
"Didn't you expect that Wizard Colin also participated in that battle..."
After saying that, he looked at Colin again with an inquiring look.
"I am not a deserter. As for why I disappeared, I have already explained it to Mr. Ocasie."
Colin said in a deep voice, feeling a little helpless.
The war situation on the frontline is so tense now!
No matter whether Senator Noynes was seriously injured or not, no matter where the two wizards who had previously guarded the crystal for help were...
I'm afraid he didn't even have the time to go out of his way to convey the news that he was the wizard to the rear.
So with no evidence on his body and no one else to prove it, it was really difficult for Colin to prove that what he said was true.
As for Margaret.
After coming out of the Elf Kingdom, he threw everything related to Margaret into the sea controlled by the gods.
Only the magic stones that are less likely to cause any hidden dangers are left behind.
In fact, even if it is a magic stone, he basically plans to use it on the golden paper transformation point to break the limit, and there is no need to worry about leaving traces.
However, as the only surviving member of the team at that time, my identity was still a bit sensitive...
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but sigh.
If he can be proven to be the wizard who delivers the news of the rebellion of the elves at this time, with such a halo, there should be no need to worry about the family behind Margaret.
After all, at that time, he could only be regarded as an assist, and the real murderer of Margaret was the alienated Meier.
After hearing this, Jonah turned his attention to Ocasi again.
Ocasi's attitude was not that good. She seemed "calm" and said:
"This Lord Colin is the hero who conveyed the news that the elves were traitors to Senator Noynes!
He said that he accidentally fell into a different space on Gupil Island, and that different space happened to be the legendary kingdom of elves..."
Having said this, Ocasi paused and sighed:
"Who would have thought that the one who almost foiled the god's conspiracy was just a small first-level junior... no, a first-level intermediate wizard!"
Among the many rumors, the strength level of the heroic wizard is the hottest topic. From the wizard apprentice to the fourth-level wizard, and even the legendary fifth-level wizard, there are people speculating.
Of course, what convinces most people is the speculation on the strength of the third-level wizard.
The first level... is really too low.
However, when Jonah heard this, his expression did not change at all. He paused and said in a deep voice:
"Okasi, I have always taught you -
Without the slightest evidence, you cannot rely solely on your own guesses!"
"Have you forgotten everything?!"
"Okay...Teacher, I didn't forget."
Ocasie's face froze, and under Jonah's stern gaze, she stroked her glasses and replied reluctantly.
"Cheating Kangxi"
Jonah nodded slightly, then moved his gaze to Colin, and said slowly:
"I trust your word, Wizard Colin."
"It's just that the members of the Neues Council are busy with the frontline war at this time, and it is obviously inconvenient to go out to summon them and bother them for such a trivial matter."
"So, I think it's better to skip this matter for now! Let Ocasi replace you with a new school badge first."
Seeing Jonah's flawless sincerity, Colin sighed in his heart, but on the surface he nodded in agreement and softly said:
"Thank you, Lord Jonah."
He knew that although Jonah said this, he probably had the same attitude towards his words as Ocasie.
Even if this is not the case, the majority of people do not believe it.
"But, that's it..."
Colin thought again:
"It's okay to be misunderstood like this. Since no one believes that I entered the Elf Kingdom on Gupil Island, they all think that I escaped after the battle started."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then the family behind Margaret will be less suspicious of themselves."
Colin's depressed mood eased a little. He was not a person who was keen on fame.
As long as there is no actual punishment, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, when Senator Noynes is free, or when he becomes stronger, all misunderstandings will eventually be cleared away!
Next.
At Jonah's command.
Ocasi didn't say anything more, silently and quickly updated him with information and issued a new school badge.
It seems that he doesn't want to argue anymore...
Colin was naturally happy about this. He turned around and left without any regrets after receiving the new school badge.
He walked out of the office in two steps, but Jonah followed him and continued the conversation.
Colin couldn't help but give face to the wizard Jonah.
This is not only because of his status as a second-level wizard, but also because he stepped in to smooth things over just now, otherwise there is no telling how long time would have been wasted.
"Wizard Colin, how is your mentor Atbald doing?" Jonah asked calmly.
When O'Cassie was updating information for Colin, he learned that the mentor of the talented wizard in front of him turned out to be the "famous" Atbold.
"...Not optimistic." Colin paused and replied.
The instructor's physical condition has recovered somewhat... until he advances to the second level, it is better to keep it secret for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"So do you have any thoughts about joining other factions?" Jonah got straight to the point and continued to ask. He paused and added:
"The leader of my faction is the third-level wizard Godwin. With your talent, you will definitely get the best treatment!"
When he updated the information just now, he not only knew that Colin's mentor was Atbold.
I also know that the wizard in front of me has been in the school for less than a year! And at that time, he was only a small senior apprentice!
It is not surprising that a senior apprentice can advance to a first-level wizard in half a year.
After all, no one knows how many years Colin had been practicing before joining the school.
But based on what I learned this time, it has improved to a small level in two months...
Jonah can already conclude that the Colin in front of him must be a genius who is not inferior to those wizard seeds that the school focuses on cultivating!
If you can recruit such a genius into your own faction, there will be many benefits!
And even if not, it would be great to have a good relationship.
"Not yet, thank you, Lord Jonah." Colin declined politely.
Next, Jonah tried to persuade him again without giving up.
Finally, seeing that Colin was always resolute, he gave up the attempt.
He just said the last words to Colin when he left:
"If after some time...well, if you have the idea of changing factions, you can contact me at any time.
I guarantee that Wizard Godwin will give you the best treatment!"
Colin agreed and walked out of the Black Castle.
He understood that what Jonah meant by a period of time most likely meant after Atbold's death...
Snap.
Standing at the door of Black Castle, Colin took out his pocket watch.
It was noon before I knew it, and the sun was shining brightly.
Colin sighed, feeling a little depressed:
"Troubled with trivial matters...time is wasted like this."
He stepped forward and then thought again.
"This may be the price of joining the school... However, now that the information has been updated, there should be no more trouble..."
Colin shook his head. The only thing he was worried about now was what Jonah just mentioned - the family behind Margaret.
Thinking of this, his pace quickened a bit.
'You still have to advance to the second level quickly. If something unexpected happens then, at least you will have more ability to protect yourself...'
However, when he left the school, passed through several intersections along the street, and was about to reach home.
However, from a distance, he saw a slightly familiar figure standing at the black fence gate of his house.
'The apprentice who shouted for Renee to move out yesterday...what is he doing here?'
The two sword eyebrows on Colin's face were about to touch each other, and he sighed in his heart:
